He's an amazing little man. So spirited (ornery), fun (hysterical, actually), loving (a big kissy bug) and just absolutely meant to be in our family (translation: attitude)
To celebrate both his gotcha day and year home with us we all went out to a nice dinner with my parents (two of his favorite people, his Mim and PopPop).
It's been real whirlwind to get to this point...
- China for three weeks to meet out little man
- The first four months was Drs., Drs., and more Drs.
- His 2nd birthday
- Every holiday (major and minor) and sibling and cousin's (up to 2nd and thirds down the line) birthdays, Christening, etc. together
- Weekly Physical and speech therapy
- Running, playing, jumping, crashing, hopping, yelling, dancing, fighting (He's all boy)
- I go back to work full-time after several months home
- Three post-placement home studies (thanks NJ)
- Re-adoption in NJ
- Getting kicked out of physical therapy for doing so well
- To Baltimore for Len's graduation for his Doctorate
- Len takes off the summer to hang with the kids
- Take Gram to the shore for the week to celebrate her 80th birthday
- A minor surgery for Will
- A Grateful Family for it all!!!!!
I'm so happy for you. We have been home just shy of 7 months now. I can't believe that much time has gone by! It does still seem like yesterday we were there. I think at least part of that feeling is due to the fact that making a trip all the way to China is/was such a memorable event in and of itself, then add on meeting and bringing home a daughter...well, what can I say? Congratulations on your one-year anniversary.
